I'm working on the "performance enhancer from bug spray" video right now, which should be done hopefully this week (or next week if I'm unlucky). September 25th is the sponsor deadline, so it'll definitely be before that!
It's been a busy month. I've been balancing college stuff like homework and trying to get a job lined up before I graduate, all while working on this video and several more, including:
The full-length tornado probe/chasing video. Probably a pretty long video, at least to script and work on, given how much footage I have!
The plasma gun. This one will be epic, but a LOT of work, especially if I collab with Plasma Channel.
Replicating Coca Cola...still going, lol. This could be another very long video.
Taurine for energy drinks
And for next year...
Outdoing NileRed. Not trying to incite drama or anything, but his "Glue to Alcohol" video was probably the worst route imaginable to get ethanol from PVA glue haha (literally burning glue to get acetic acid, and an overly complicated reduction to turn that into ethanol). I figured it might be fun to try my own route and see if I can do better!
Getting night vision from spinach. With a bit of processing, the chlorophyll can be converted into chlorin e6, which has been used in eye drops to dramatically increase human vision in low-light.
Also, with the help of my storm chasing partners Mason and Jackson (in the pictures above), I've been collabing with John from "Mesohunter" to make a new and improved tornado probe system...one that can be shot into a tornado with rockets! We've been trying to livestream the process most weeks on both of our channels, but given the low viewership, we might make it member/Patreon only, at least until we have something more viral (like actually firing the rockets). It's been a lot of fun though, and I can't wait for the upcoming storm seasons! I bought a fancy camera gimbal, so get ready for smoother in-the-field footage...this year's stuff was a bit bumpy on the road lol!
Speaking of members, I finally launched YouTube channel memberships for LabCoatz! Might be odd to share this info here, where you all are already donating on a monthly basis, but the option is there if Patreon isn't your thing!
As usual, thank you all for continuing to support my channel, even when I don't post for over a month. It means a lot!
